  1. Ok, this is what I have in the "Running AutoHotKey Script", inside the "Edit Emulator" window for my MAME: Run, C:\JoyToKey_en\JoyToKey.exe /m ~5 & Tab:: { Process, Close, JoyToKey.exe Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} } This basically launches JoyToKey when I open MAME, and waits for the Tab + 5 keys input for closing it, before killing it. The Tab + 5 are my keys mapped to my arcade sticks to exit MAME. Hope the above helps.
  2. Hey Cnells. I do not have my gaming machine here with me now, but I can share with you the script I have in a couple of hours. It launches joy2key when the game launches, and then it gets killed when the game is closed. In regards of opening specific configuration for specific games, I did that directly into joy2key. You create and save a profile, and then in the joy2key options you set with which exe file the specific profile will be selected for use.
  3. Harry! Take care yourself and your loved ones. You work and attitude was always appreciated. Will keep rocking your creations, and hope to see you again some time soon!
  4. Hey guys! I am trying to Audit a platform after a long time and many LB versions, and I am seeing in the overhauled audit tool that I have now 13 images columns, but they don't make sense: Arcade Cabinet Images, Arcade Circuit Board Images, Arcade Control Panel Images, etc. Even Cart Back Images ? I have already checked in the Tools > Options > Legacy > Image priorities and I don't have anything arcade related checked in any of the categories. Where can I find the option to select which columns to be displayed in the Audit Tool?
  5. The mod status in the database is pretty easy to achieve, meaning that potentially anybody could be a mod in a short while, and the mods not being a fixed/closed group poses a problem in the sense that each individual mod will judge according to his/her own preferences, and adding to the fact that the result is voted by almost a handful of random users makes it worse. I understand though that if the voting needed to approve or reject something gets increased, then everything would take a lot more time to get uploaded and the queues of pending approvals will get even bigger.
  6. @catfer, content should be as objective and unaltered from the raw material as possible. You might find smoothed pixel-free graphics more appealing to you, but another user might find CRT shading better. When contributing to these type of databases, you need to bear in mind that preservation is king. If you feel that the original screenshot (how it was actually rendered by the console) is to small without zooming it digitally, you can easily apply a 4x rescale (pre or post emulation) like @Lordmonkus mentioned and it will look just fine (I took the liberty of doing it to your posted image): I hope you understand why uploading multimedia and metadata to a shared database should be devoid of subjective weight, and wish you keep contributing to the cause
  7. @Jason Carr Language-es_11.zip Sorry for the delay!
  8. And keep it sexy. Looking good. Nice work @thimolor
  9. @Jason Carr sorry I haven't been able to deliver the Spanish one yet. I am returning to work from a furlough, and it all has been hectic. I am planning on posting the translation tomorrow. Hope it is ok.
  10. For OCD freaks like me who want to have their collection as tidy and complete as possible, these last updates are huge; Start/Stop recording to get automatically generated and placed videos for the obscure/custom games there is no media about, better managing of the editing game screens to easily complete the metadata, improved cleaning media tool and the Audit tool from the previous release. ❤️ ?
  11. States with image previews and saved date? Oh yes! I need to try this tomorrow! Thank you @Chadmando for sharing! Looks awesome.
  12. @Jason Carr Spanish is done! Language-es_1015.zip
  13. The xaml could have an additional height property that maxes it at a certain value, so for vertical videos it would not take all the sidebar.
  14. The sticker can be frankesteined, as the only thing that you do not have a resoruce for is the Professor's face, the rest (game clear logo, background from the box and company logos) can be acquired easily in HQ.
  15. @ABeezy13, best I could find (open link in new window for full size):
  16. I will keep the WMP selected with no black bars (horizontal or vertical) with the xaml tweak from previous posts. If I had to decide between bars, I would rather have the horizontal ones over the pillars. I can test your revised theme if you want.
  17. Great work @ABeezy13! The GBA carts was a project long due, and you tackled it like a baws. Scrapping and restoring cart stickers is a frustrating pain in the neck, so kudos for this milestone ?
  18. @MayorQwert I got it fixed in the betas. So if you are still using a regular version, you can either update to a beta version, or wait for the official release.
  19. Hey Alan, what's up. I'll reply back in the same format as you: 1. I assume you have already tried placing your .miniusf files in the Music Background folder and when enabling the background music in BigBox nothing happens. Have you tried changing the extension to .mp3 (manually, not converting the files per se) to trick the BB player into reproducing theme anyways? 2. You can map keys/buttons in the BigBox options, and set specific shortcuts to next song and previous song, as well as volume control and anything else that happens in there. Just go to the Options menu, scroll almost all the way down and you will see the mappings menu. 3. When you say intro videos for the consoles, I am assuming you mean the platform videos before actually entering each one o them. Launchbox has one path for main platform videos, and another path for the games pertaining to that platform. Path for the platform videos is LaunchBox/Videos/Platforms/<Platform Name.mp4> Path for game videos is LaunchBox/Videos/<Platform Name>/<Game Name.mp4> Hope the above helps
  20. Dude! I was sure I had WMP selected in both LB and BB, but maybe I changed it in LB to test something before and forgot to revert it back. That was it. Cheers and sorry for the back and forth. @shadowfire really nice theme, looks sexy and has little to no dead space (I use LB as list, not images, and with this theme I can see a lot of items). Thanks for sharing.
  21. Thanks @tycho1974; that is what I did previously. I tried copy/pasting your line just in case there was something different in it, but the same issue happens:
  22. Tycho, do you mind telling exactly what did you remove from line 124 (or sharing the xaml)? I tried with the entire height property, as well as specific fields in it, but I only got either an error of the theme, or the description text went over the video. Thanks!
  23. Been testing BB for the last hour, and so far so good A new song every time, and I haven't seen the first ones from the folder getting repeated.
  24. You guys found what the problem was? Now I am eager to know what was it. You and @C-Beats are awesome.
